Tim Sheens says his Hull KR side will not wave the white flag despite being decimated by multiple injuries during the 30-6 loss to St Helens.

Back-rower George Lawler was stretchered off with a broken leg and dislocated ankle, whilst the Robins lost Danny McGuire and Andrew Heffernan to concussion at KCOM Craven Park.

Immediately, the trio were ruled out of Friday’s derby clash and beyond, with a patched-up KR outfit due to take to the field against Hull FC in but Sheens says panic won’t settle into his Robins side – with key men waiting to return.

Captain Shaun Lunt could come back in a timely boost, whilst Nick Scruton, Lee Jewitt, Danny Tickle, Liam Salter and Matty Marsh are tipped to come back into the fold.
